Li Wenxiu burst into tears and laughed, making Li Jiang secretly relieved.
He was afraid that Li Wenxiu would not figure it out and would end up in a dead end. If he said not to go to Hangzhou, it would be difficult.
Li Jiang struck while the iron was hot and asked her: "Axiu, should we go into the city or go straight on our way?"
Li Wenxiu wiped away her tears, thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li, I'm hungry."
"Oh, I don't think so even if you don't tell me. When you say it, I feel like my heart is so close to my back. Come on, let's go into the city for dinner." Li Jiang followed her instructions, rubbing his belly and winking.
"Yeah." Li Wenxiu ignored his mischief and nodded obediently.
Li Jiang waved his hand and asked her to invite him first.
The two of them entered the city and found a restaurant with high-end decoration in the center of the city.
Li Jiang had a lot of money, so in order to make Li Wenxiu happy, he only ordered Changzhou's famous dishes, including crystal dish hoof, Liyang style goose, crab meat dumplings, and poached meatballs.
Of course you have to drink rice wine when you come to Jiangnan, and the alcohol content is low so you won’t get drunk easily. Li Jiang generously ordered two pots.
Most of the dishes in this restaurant are sweet and sour, which Li Jiang is not used to. He likes spicy and salty food.
After picking up a few dishes with chopsticks, he started to taste rice wine. He used to drink beer at school and never drank rice wine. Now when he drank it, it was as sweet as a drink. He immediately fell in love with it and couldn't help but
Had a few more drinks.
Li Wenxiu was the opposite. She had never tasted such a sweet and sour dish. Her eyes lit up as soon as she tasted it. She liked it very much and her chopsticks flew like flies. As for rice wine, her evaluation was much worse. She said it could also be called
Wine! Skip it and don’t touch it.
Both of them were martial arts practitioners, and they ate enough for five or six people in one meal. Amid the astonishment of the waiter, Li Jiang settled his account and left the restaurant.
Even after leaving the city, Li Wenxiu was still unsatisfied.
When he mounted his horse, he said to Li Jiang: "Brother Li, you can't get enough of the wine here. When you get to Hangzhou, I'll treat you to a drink of daughter's red. Mother said it was the best wine. Hier..."
Ah, Li Wenxiu's face instantly turned red, she covered her mouth with one hand, whipped the horse with the other and ran away.
Li Jiang shook his head and couldn't help but smile, silly girl, what's the point of being embarrassed? It doesn't matter if you eat more, you won't get fat anyway. Also, isn't the daughter's red you mentioned still rice wine?
He whistled, touched his heels, and the little white horse neighed and hoofed forward.
When passing through Suzhou, Li Jiang felt a little itchy and wanted to go to the city to see the Jiangnan Gardens. But thinking about Li Wenxiu, he finally gave up the idea and thought that he could visit it on his return trip.
Li Wenxiu was unaware of Li Jiang's thoughts. Maybe she was about to arrive in Hangzhou, and her mood began to feel heavy again.
After a bumpy journey, a few days later, the two arrived in Hangzhou.
Looking at the city wall of Hangzhou from a distance, Li Jiang began to make calculations. This city of Hangzhou is where the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang are stationed. Also in the same city are the governors of Zhejiang, the generals of Hangzhou, the admirals of water and land, and the feudal lords. They are all great.
Members, a big wave of faith points is coming.
Before they could get close to the city gate, they saw a long line of people lining up outside the city gate to be inspected.
Teams of soldiers patrolled the city walls with guns, and archers were posted between each battlement, as if facing a formidable enemy.
What's going on? Li Jiang was a little confused.
Is there someone rebelling nearby? I have never heard of someone rebelling in the mainland during the "Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties"!
Li Jiang was puzzled. To be on the safe side, Li Jiang put away Li Wenxiu's meteor hammer and said he would bury it outside the city and pick it up when he came out.
Then he took off the invincible sword from his back, turned around and went to a place where Li Wenxiu couldn't see, and put them into the space.
After dawdling for a moment, he turned back, patted the dirt on his hands and said it was hidden.
Li Wenxiu did not doubt that he had it, but he still followed Li Jiang in confusion to queue up at the city gate.
The flow of people moved very slowly, and it took a while to move forward.
According to Li Jiang's quiet observation, the inspection in Hangzhou this time is very strict. Not only are they asked, but they are also searched. Everyone must do this.
The other passage out of the city is much easier and faster. Most of the time, the soldiers there don't care about it. Only those who act suspicious will stop and check.
Looking at the completely different practices of the two sides, Li Jiang thought for a while, there must be some big shot in the city, right? Tight inside and loose outside!
Thinking of this, Li Jiang smiled and thought, is this a coincidence? You wait for me to help Axiu find someone first, and then he will let you know what "just what you want" means and what "there is a road to heaven, if you don't take it,
There is no door to hell, so you choose to go to hell."
A little while later, it was Li Wenxiu and Li Jiang's turn.
Li Wenxiu was a woman, so the soldiers did not search her, but they still asked her in detail who she was, where she was from, and what she was doing in the city.
Li Wenxiu's Mandarin mixed with soft Nong Wu dialect made the soldiers think that she was a local and posed no threat, so they let her go.
Li Jiang secretly laughed when he saw this. You may have made a mistake. She is not a cute girl. She even scares her brother when she dances with the meteor hammer.
At this time, the soldiers turned to Li Jiang.
Li Jiang raised his palm and said: "The unscrupulous God, the poor man is polite."
The leader, the general manager, looked at him coldly, stretched out his hand and said, "Defend the ultimatum!"
Li Jiang smiled slightly, reached into his arms, took out the fake certificate and handed it to him. He took it with one hand and waved his other hand, and the two soldiers stepped forward to search Li Jiang.
Seeing those two pairs of thick black hands stretching out, Li Jiang felt a chill and quickly took a step back, saying to the boss: "Master Jun, this is not necessary! Pindao is a monk and there is nothing prohibited.
Please show some dignity to the Taoist disciples."
"Oh, you're pretty good at gossiping, bah! What a bastard disciple, no matter who you are, you have to be searched today!" Mr. Lao said angrily, slapping the ultimatum in his hand.
Li Jiang still had a smile on his face, but anger was rising in his heart. Damn it, it seems like he can't get through today. He has no choice but to break out of the siege. At worst, he can climb over the wall and get in at night.
Just when the swords were tense, a man who looked like a master next to the general manager stepped forward and said a few words in the general manager's ear, which made the general manager's expression calm down.
Li Jiang vaguely heard the words "Zhengyi, Longhu Mountain".
The general thought for a moment, waved his hand to stop a few soldiers, and asked Li Jiang: "Little Taoist priest, what are you doing in the city?"
"Someone in the Shangguan family is sick, and I asked someone to deliver a message to the mountain. I asked Pindao to perform a ritual to get rid of the illness." Li Jiang mentioned the family name of Li Wenxiu's mother. No matter whether he had this family or not, he must not hesitate.
"Oh." The general manager looked Li Jiang up and down again. Seeing that he was slender and didn't look like he had any weapons hidden on his body, he waved his hand and said, "Since there are people in the city asking you to do something, I'll give it to you."
Longhu Mountain is a face-saving place, so go in."
Li Jiang bowed and said: "Unscrupulous Lord, thank you for your understanding, Master Jun."
After giving the salute, he stood up, straightened out his Taoist robes, and walked leisurely into the city gate with Xiaobai in hand.
After passing the city gate, they saw Li Wenxiu looking inside anxiously. When he saw Li Jiang coming out, he immediately rushed over and asked with concern: "Brother Li, why did it take so long?"
"Ha, the gatekeeper wanted me to teach him the Taoism. He insisted on dragging me to give him a lecture. He wouldn't let me go until I told him. I could only reluctantly talk to him for a while." Li Jiang smiled evilly.
Seeing this crooked smile, Li Wenxiu knew that Li Jiang was acting like a monster, and rolled her eyes coquettishly.
